--- Comment #24 from John Hamilton <john at hamilton.org.uk> ---
Please raise this issue again.  On my old system, I did a complete backup to a
zip file (about 380Mbyte) and I can see it contains a lot of stuff (I keep my
old emails).  Moving to a new installation, I attempted to restore via
Tools/ExportKmailData/File/Restore Data/Do you want to continue (really... I do
a restore via the backup menu ???) Select the .zip file, tick all the boxes:
Resources, Mail Xport, Config, Identify, Mails, Akonadi and...
I get a log of lots of stuff that has been restored (except for filters... but
I don't think I had any).
But when I look I have lots of identities but no contacts and no mail... just a
series of entries in mail that say akonadi_maildir_resource_0rc and they're
empty and I can only get rid of them by deleting some strange identities that
have been invented (along with other identities where all the important stuff
has been lost).
But here's an interesting sidebar: I got here because I wanted to do it
cleanly.  But before, I tried a dirty way: copying the .kde and .local
directories across.  That didn't work, but when I added a restore, I did get my
emails and contacts, but also a lot of odd effects.
So... there is a bug in the backup/restore process and the restore level is
4.10.5 (not sure what version of backup I used).
And... how do I get my contacts and emails back ?
